Aim

I’m delighted to be selling tickets to the AJ Bell Fringe on a Friday digital cabaret.

Join me for a 60-minute digital cabaret show on Friday the 28th at 9pm. The show will feature nine different acts and will go out live at 9pm, with tickets costing just £9 each (£1 less than the cost of the average Fringe ticket). 

Every ticket you buy really will make a big difference. With very little work on the horizon for freelance artists, your support will help us all finance our shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021.

About Us

Stiff & Kitsch are a multi-award winning musical comedy duo (Musical Comedy Awards Winners 2018, Vault Comedy Award winners 2017) 

Their 5* reviewed musical comedy show Adele Is Younger Than Us sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, 2017 and 2018 before transferring to the Soho Theatre. They returned in 2019 with their second official fringe sell-out Stiff & Kitsch: Bricking It. 

Their music video The Facebook Song has been viewed over half a million times online and been featured by The Hook, Fab Magazine and Comedy Central UK. They were the faces of the Kinder Bueno ‘Adulting’ Ad Campaign and have collaborated with BBC Three on a New Years Countdown song. They are currently in the process of writing their first musical ‘Another Girl’.

Who’s joining me on Friday 28 August?

The full line up for the next show on 28 August is Briefs, Le Gateau Chocolat, Stiff & Kitsch, Michael Odewale, Megan Shandley, Kid X, Farr Out, Craig Hill, Helen Duff, Alfie Ordinary and your host for the evening...Courtney Act

AJ Bell Fringe on Friday

This new digital show will showcase the festival across a range of genres, including comedy, cabaret, theatre and music. The show has been made possible thanks to the generous support of online investment platform AJ Bell, and is produced and curated by Lucky Cat & Michael Fraser, alongside production company Inner Ear.

Fringe Artist and Venue Recovery Fund

The creative industries have been among the hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak, with the Fringe community alone facing estimated losses of over £21 million. 

The opportunities derived from presenting work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe can be enormous; many artists book onward touring, build collaborative partnerships, find a new agent, get bookings for stage, screen, and film work. Many engage with a loyal and adventurous fanbase, earning income to support their year-round activities, or taking the chance to try out new work and ideas on audiences who are actively looking for something new. 

The impact of these lost opportunities will stretch way beyond 2020, with artists looking at a long recovery for their work to be seen on stage again, with the worry that many will be forced to leave the sector to earn a living elsewhere, with the impact far-reaching.

All the money we raise from this project page will go to the central artist and venue recovery fund to support our return to the Fringe in 2021.
